10 Easy Pieces: Soft Sack Plant Pots

August 15, 2017

We like the look of a sack for a flower pot—a bit like growing a plant right out of your bag of soil. French company BACSAC may have made it stylish (it’s the first company we know to coin the trend), but the idea is a descendant of the grow pots that nurseries use to cultivate and transplant seedlings. Other features include simplicity, portability, and putting recycled material to good use. Here are our favorites.

Made from sturdy, lightweight material from decommissioned PET bottles, the Plant Container Recycled Fiber Pot is €6.\10 (\$7 USD) at Manufactum.
